Alien hand syndrome is best documented in cases where a person has had the two hemispheres of their brain surgically separated, a procedure sometimes used to relieve the symptoms of extreme cases of epilepsy. It also occurs in some cases after brain surgery, stroke, infection, tumor, aneurysm and specific degenerative brain conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and Creutzfeldt Jakob disease. Other areas of the brain that are associated with alien hand syndrome are the frontal, occipital and parietal lobes.  4, record 3, English, - alien%20hand%20syndrome

[...] ce dérangement fait partie de ceux que les neurologues répertorient comme «mouvements involontaires complexes». Il consiste en des gestes des doigts et de la main, parfois accompagnés de saisie d'objets, d'agrippement des habits voire de conflit avec l'autre main qui est alors repoussée. Ceux-ci sont effectués avec une précision troublante pour l'entourage, parce qu'ils donnent l'impression d'intentionnalité. Leurs auteurs prennent plus souvent conscience des conséquences de ces mouvements que des gestes eux-mêmes.  6, record 3, French, - syndrome%20de%20la%20main%20%C3%A9trang%C3%A8re

Infantile spasms has been known by many names over the years, including salaam attacks, salaam convulsions, generalized flexion epilepsy syndrome, Blitz-Nick-Salaam-Krämpfe, eclampsia nutans, flexion spasm, infantile spastic epilepsy, jackknife convulsion syndrome, jackknife spasm, massive myoclonia syndrome, and nodding spasms. Infantile spasms is now the preferred term, but West syndrome is often used synonymously. A more general term, "epileptic spasms, "includes infantile spasms as well as clinically similar seizures that occur in older patients.  2, record 6, English, - infantile%20spasm

Spasme infantile ou tic de Salaam (Syndrome de West). Cette épilepsie débute le plus souvent à l'âge de 5 à 7 mois ou, très rarement, pendant la 2ème ou la 3ème année de vie. Lors des crises typiques de cette maladie, le nourrisson est atteint de spasmes brusques pendant 2 à 3 secondes et projette ses bras vers l'avant ou le côté, ce qui rappelle la façon islamique de saluer («salaam» signifiant salut en arabe). Si la tête et la nuque seulement sont concernées par les secousses, on parle de tics et, si les crises traversent tout le corps du nourrisson de façon saccadée, on parle de spasmes.  6, record 6, French, - spasme%20infantile
